My tummy looks terrible and so do my breasts. The years have not been kind! I weigh 165lbs, am 5'6 and in good health. (56 yrs old) I had liposuction 5 yeas ago but all it did was create loose skin. I am planning to get a tummy tuck within two months but would like to know If its possible to lose 10 inches off my waistline once they do lipo and restructure the muscles?
Answer: Tummy tuck Hello and thank you for your question. It is challenging to predict the exact number of inches you may lose. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction. This can be done through a low and short incision, all completely below the bikini line. The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on the exterior. Your muscles can also be plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Inches off waistline with TT Hello!You will not lose 10 inches off your waistline. That is a large amount. Please discuss with your plastic surgeon to see what she/he thinks you will reasonably achieve. This is a great question!

Answer: How many inches can I expect to lose off my waistline If I get a tummy tuck? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. In general the waistline of a patient is determined by the underlying bony anatomy of the ribs and hips. Based on your supplied picture I do not think you will approximate a 10 inch reduction in your waist but you do look as if you would obtain a very nice result. Hope this helps.

Answer: Abdominoplasty Although an abdominoplasty will improve your appearance, do not expect to lose inches, certainly not 10. Good luck, Greg Sexton, M.D/ Columbia, S.C.
